Wow, I disagree with like three-quarters of your wishlist.

I want a wide open, gigantic arrangement of fields where I can ride Epona uninterrupted and awe at the amazing vistas. Screw dragons and other hindrances that only get in the way. It would only become annoying and tedious, like those sharks and peahats in Wind Waker.

So you're calling ALttP boring? Because I literally just want that in 3D, and you can't ride Epona through that. Dragons wouldn't be hinderences. They'd be normal enemies. It's just a type of enemy I want in a dense open world where it would feel like just another enemy. The sharks and peahat is WW (they aren't tedious to me at all) are not what I'm getting at at all, because they only serve to keep the sea eventful. 

I want Ganon to return, he's been away for far too long.

No he hasn't. He's been in virtually every Zelda game expecially the recent ones.

I want the control scheme to stay complicated through the use of either motion controls or dual analogue, whether or not optional. WWHD was a major step backwards, and I wouldn't to resort to mindless button-mashing again.

WWHD was not mindless button mashing. Those controls aren't complicated; they're annoying.

I want those supposed 'pace-breakers'. The Silent Realms were some of my favorite parts in Skyward Sword. What you seem to forget, also judging from some of other points, is that Zelda is by nature a slow-paced game, with a few moments of action. You're supposed to take your time instead of blaze through. I also he there's a good story with plenty of events and cutscenes, where it all fits in.

I'd be fine with them if they were optional. The Silent Realms would have been awesome sidequests. Actually, most of the pace breakers would. I don't think Zelda is supposed to be a slow paced game at all. Not that it's fast paced, but none of the 2D games are slow paced at all. That's a consession the 3D games had to take due to hardware constraints. With the Wii U, I pray that that's no longer an issue.

Building on that slow-pace, I'd rather have 30fps if that gives us 1080p in this case, Zelda benefits more from detail rather then framerate. WWHD is 30fps, which is more than fine. The only reason A Link Between Worlds is 60fps is to help the smoothness of the 3D effect. Of course, if you can have both...

Again, there shouldn't be a slow pace to build on. Even if that's true, it does so much more than that. I don't believe any game benefits more from detail than framerate. If WWHD couldn't do 1080p, Zelda U definitely won't lol.

Lastly, a reply to a couple of random replies you made in other posts;
- Roc's Cape was introduced in Link's Awakening as Roc's Feather, Capcom has nothing to do with it.

Yeah, you're definitely right. I hope that it's incorperated, but I doubt it.

- Have you played A Link to the Past? Then you should know that A Link Between Worlds' music is 99% just remasters of the former's soundtrack. Good ones, I certainly agree, but it only builds on Kondo's originals.

I have, but there are a LOT more original tracks in this game than you give it credit for. Even still, I wouldn't mind having them both work on this, but I think that he's better than Koji.

- And no way, Minish Cap is hugely disappointing for a Zelda game. It gives Phantom Hourglass (where I liked the stylus control scheme) a run for it's money. It doesn't even stand in the shadow of Twilight Princess or basically every other Zelda except a small few.

 I literally can't fathom how one can enjoy ALttP, and not like this game. I guess it's one of those things where people played ALttP first, and can't like anything else more. I played ALttP first, and I think MC is just a little better. It has great dungeons, interesting (though easy) boss fights, an interesting world, great music, and a cool game mechanic in shrinking. But it's light years ahead of Twilight Princess and just edges out ALttP. Phenominal game.

I do hope, naturally, that we both will like the new game.

Above all else, definitely this! Honestly, I've never played a Zelda game I didn't like (I never played the DS games) so I'm 100% sure I'll love this one!
